Vampire Knight, The Tortured Knight(Fanfic)

Ch.10 I Once Had Chains

I would let out a slight sigh, watching people, vampires and humans walk into this building. Gods know if some of these people know they are entering with vampires or not. I'd sigh, closing my left eye, walking up to the building, lowering my hood as I approached it.

As I made it to the entrance, I was stopped by the bouncer, who took a good look at me. Didn't take me long to notice he was a vampire, and I'm sure he too noticed me. He gave me a rather confused look before gestureing with his head to walk on in.

I'd hesitated slightly before walking in. To be fair, I don't know what I expected in this place, specially if anything can happen. Upon walking in, it wasn't exactly what I thought. Vampires and humans mingling freely, however, the humans tend to be a little on the higher class, barely any teenager.

I'd take a walk around, some vampires noticing me and giving me a rather confused look. There was some upbeat music being played by some vampires in the back of the place and at the middle of the floor is a sort of congregation of both humans and vampires just dancing to the music.

I'd eventually spot a bar at the side of the place, looking around, I'd walk to it. "Its a... rather interesting establishment, surprised its not degenerated into a blood bath..." I would say quietly to myself, though I was really commenting to Lævatienn.

"Not everything is drowned in chaos between us. May be some things you don't agree with, but nonetheless, moments of peace can be found. Cas hasn't arrived yet and it seems your presence has alerted some of the vampires. If questioned, just say you're a foreigner, in the mean time though, mingle? Maybe try to ask questions concerning certain vampires. Higher ups that is" she would say to me.

I'd let out a slight huff in response before making it to the bar, I'd sit down at the booth, looking at the waiter who was washing a glass, seemwd he too was a vampire. He payed little to no attention to me, almost as if he's just use to the mixed patch of both humans and vampires. There was certainly some hints of blood in this establishment, my best guess is that the drinks are mixed with it, either that, or some vampires got too frisky.

"Excuse me sir, what can you tell me about this establishment?" I would ask him, and he turned to me, his crimson eyes locking on with mine. He seemed interested at first, chuckling.

"Well well. Haven't seen you around here before. Welcome to Lux, my name is Alva. Pleasant to meet you. Gotta say, its rare to see another vampire with multichromal eyes" he would say to me.

I'd nod in response. "Likewise, names... Nostra Sors. I happened to just be passing by, came into town and came across this place, figured I'd take a peak inside" I'd lie to him. Funny, he doesn't sense me as an ex-human. Either he sees me like every other vampire or more or less just being polite admist his own confusion. And Nostra Sors... a name I went by a long time ago with G.B, name bestowed upon me along with knighthood.

"Nostra Sors huh? Certainly sounds foreign. Whats your story? Traveller? Mercenary? You certainly seem dressed like a merc. It'snot often we get visitors like you around these parts, let alone our establishment" He would ask me with a flirtatious smile.

I'd raise an eyebrow slightly before looking around. "I can see that. A mixture of both vampires and humans, mingling with scents of blood in the air...surprised It's not a bloodbath... so I suppose you could say I'm a mercenary. More accurately, a knight" I would answer him, trying to catch a glimpse of something that at least made sense.

"A knight huh? Very curious indeed. I'd say that we must be under watchful eyes to be blessed with someone like you then. And hopefully the smell isn't bothersome. Our patrons know the rules here, less they'll be held accountable for the damage caused. Infact its so strict, its the humans who have to offer themselves to us for us to even be alowed to consider accepting, so maybe if you have a drink or two, the scent shouldn't bother you any longer. If not we do have some drinks we serve ourselves that are mixed with blood, thanks to the donations of some of our lovely patrons" he would explain to me.
